I've mentioned in the past that I have a lot of family that have had cancer. Well just this week I had a malignant melanoma removed from my back. My dermatologist knows my family history and told me we must have a really bad gene and he wants to see me twice a year. Reading through the material he gave me on skin cancer it specifically identifies that shit I put in my mouth for decades as A major cause of SCC the 2nd most common skin cancer. I knew the risk and chose to roll the dice. But once I was addicted the game changed, I lost that freedom to choose or at least the choice became more difficult. Thanks to this site, my brothers of quit and so many of you I'm winning odaat.
Thank you.

Did they get it early WT? I know all about melanoma. It took my Dad away when he was only 48. He didn't get it looked at till it was too late. Very survivable if caught early. Thanks for sharing.
Hang in there friend, you are on the right path so lets let the angels watch over you through this time and into the future. And remember to live and love life no matter what.
Yes they got it all. Melanoma is deadly but 100% curable if caught early. My brother and his daughter are both miraculous stage 4 melanoma survivors. My dermatologist asks me every time I see him if my brother is still living. He had a radical mastectomy and muscles in his upper back removed. Because of the history I do regular self exams and have been going to my dermatologist regularly. Thank you for the prayers.
Prayers headed your way WT
Wt do what you do best, get this done! With you my friend, prayers to you and yours!
Tobacco is so addictive it took me a year after a massive heart attack, in which doctor confirmed caused from dipping to finally put a lid on the bitch! ODAAT EDD

I just found out a friend of mine just diagnosed with stomach cancer. He is on a feeding tube and given less than a year to live. His cancer is definitely caused by DIP! He was a ninja dipper that always swallowed. Damn I hate that shit!! He is my age (late 50's).
ANYONE READING THIS THAT IS STILL USING, STOP!!!
Sorry to hear wt. Prayers to your friend! Sad. Stay quit
Sorry for you and your buddy and his family as well. I pray that he finds peace somehow and that others reading this story take it to heart. Thanks for the share, it definitely serves as a helpful reminder why we come here everyday.
In my prayers also.
I quit with you today.

Damn. So sad. My prayers as well... Quit the poison!
DAMN, FUCK CANCER. Prayers brother.
Sorry you have to go through this with yet another friend WT. Thoughts are with you today brother.

I think it's time to blow a little dust off this intro. Making the decision to use or not isn't a daily occurrence anymore. Very seldom do I ever actually consider the possibility of a dip. The strongest driving force for me when I think about it anymore is that I think about how depressed I was when I first quit. I don't ever want to return to that awful place I was as a dipper. Quitting definitely sucks bad but being quit is a completely different thing it is glorious. The past two years I have spent a lot of my time learning to live life without my addiction. Has a 58-year-old adult it's hard to imagine that I never learned how to cope with the stresses in life. Using nicotine to mask high stress if you're hiding behind the stressful situations was always part of my prequit life. Learning coping skills at my age has been a challenge but I finally feel that I'm doing a good job.
I love this site my friends here all my quit brothers. I could never done it without you. For any new quitters that doubt their ability to quit I promise you that if you follow the plan and stick with it, stay close to your group and post roll daily you can do it.
This is a great update sir.

Today there are some new guys struggling mightily - when the quit begins it is impossible to believe that life can ever be this good.

It can.
It is.

Thanks for the update!
Thank you my good man. It's taking me a long time to figure out what a normal adult life is suppose to be like ,I started dipping at 12 quit at 50 but my friends it is awesome! I actually helped my daughter decorate her Christmas tree today! Why am I sharing that ? That's first time I've ever helped decorate a tree because I was always enjoying my time alone with my dip missing all that time with my kids because I was a selfish son of a bitch! Thanks ktc! One day at a time! Quit on my brother!
